I thought I would die at work tonight

It was really, really scary

I thought I would die at work tonight

The situation was kind of hairy

I just started this job last week

Working factory security

But tonight, my outlook was rather bleak

In all honesty, the situation was just absurdity

I thought I would die at work tonight

Or at least deal with an active shooter

Thank God it did not come to that

I just had to type on a computer

I know I blew it out of proportion

I was never truly in danger

But these days you never know

The thoughts of any stranger

I thought I might die tonight

I prayed and prayed and prayed

God came through and answered my prayers

None of them were delayed

Maybe from now on I should relax

And not be so uptight

But always on guard I shall be

Ready for any fight
